Pescatarians rejoice! We've got a unique, healthy plate of salmon nachos here.

Not very often to we make a tray of nachos that produces the perfect amount of food for one meal, and doesn't make us feel bloated and slightly disgusting afterwards. Major victory, if you ask me. Plus, how often do you see salmon on nachos? Sadly, not that often. Salmon on tacos? All the time. But nachos tend to get short-changed on the creativity end of things. We need to fight for nacho justice.

So anyway, here you have it -- Southwestern Salmon Nachos, a damn good pescatarian nacho dish.

Hope you enjoy the salmon nachos recipe, take pictures & tag @nachos on Instagram!
